Latitude E6510 Owner's Lounge

thanks! good to know..

I wiped my hdd after imaging then proceeded with clean install..

 

Yep, just started happening. Thinking I may do a clean install and wipe the OEM install. Will also help clean up some other stuff.

 

I bought an E6510 with the E/Port Plus port replicator and noted three video ports back there: one VGA and two DVI. Does that mean I could do triple, maybe even quad with this laptop? Has anyone done this?

 

Does the keyboard from the E6400/E6500 interchange with the E6510? Snagged one of the outlet Latitudes yesterday but not sure if it comes with the illuminated keyboard so was wondering what will swap in for it if I wanted to buy one (seem to be a bunch on everyone's favorite auction site)

 

Yes. My E6410 is the happy home to an E6400 backlit keyboard and, if I recall correctly, it was established a couple of years ago that the E6400 and E6500 keyboards are the same part.

Ah cool--thanks! Will find out one way or the other on Friday when my new toy gets here

 

>> Your computer can't come out of hibernation.
>> status:0xc000000d

I think "powercfg -ENERGY" diagnoses the problem of a laptop not going into hibernation. I have the same problem... I think it's related to switching the BIOS from legacy bootloader mode to UFCI boot, but the code that generates the hibernation file still generates a bootloader hiberfile.sys. Device Manager shows no warnings and Windows 7 is fully updated.

My E6510 hibernates just fine, but when I try to wake it from hibernation I get exactly the messages exactly as s.rajkumar described.

 

I have been so wanting a backlit keyboard for my e6510 as well.
I have spoken to several eBay sellers asking if the e6400/6500 would work and they all said no.
There have been NONE listed on eBay for the e6510.
I will grab one off eBay as well.

Thank you John

 

The keyboard in the E6510 service manual looks extremely similar to the E6400 keyboard that I put in in my E6410 so I don't think Dell decided to make any change in that part when the modified the E6500.

As far as I know, the batteries are interchangeable between all 4 models (E6400 / E6410 / E6500 / E6510) although Dells specs show slight dimensional differences between the E6410 and E6510 batteries. Maybe different people did the measurements. I do know that the E6400 and E6410 batteries are interchangeable because I've done it. Also the E6400 and E6500 batteries are the same.

Yes, I can confirm they are... The M4400 and M4500 also take the same batteries as the E65x0/E64x0.
